Christina has spent more than 25 years in the world of show jumping. Though she took an 8-year break from competing, her passion for the sport never wavered. This year, Christina is preparing to return to the ring, reigniting her competitive spirit while cherishing the memories and lessons gained over decades.

Her journey as an equestrian has taken her across the globe, living and competing in various countries—a lifestyle that shaped her resilience and independence.

"I love horses, and I love to compete," Christina shares. "There’s nothing like the feeling of finishing a good round or reaching a goal with a young horse. My horse life and show life made me live in many countries, and that made me strong and independent."

In the equestrian world, female mentorship and legacy are not just passed down through coaching—they are lived and felt every day in the relationships built around horses. Christina and Jennifer’s bond is a testament to how riding not only shapes skills but also deepens family ties.

"Enjoy the moments when you do well," Christina advises. "It’s important to take pride in your achievements while always striving to learn and grow."

As Christina prepares to get back in the ring this year, she’s more motivated than ever—not just for herself but to continue being an inspiration for her daughter.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the unique connection between mothers and daughters who ride together, learn together, and support one another. For Christina and Jennifer, it’s about more than just competing—it’s about sharing a lifelong passion.
